INDUSTRY PERSPECTIVES: EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE: EFFECTIVE
CYBERSECURITY IN A WORLD OF THREATS



JOHNA TILL JOHNSON | CEO AND FOUNDER, NEMERTES

Johna Till Johnson is the CEO & Founder of Nemertes Research, an 18-year old
research-advisory firm specializing in the business impact of emerging
technologies. Ms. Johnson spearheads Nemertes’ security and risk management
practice, where she works with Fortune 200 financial services, manufacturing,
utility, and other leading organizations.

Ms. Johnson’s career in information security began more than 25 years ago when,
as a young engineer, she developed security products for Mosler Security
Systems. In the early 1990s, she ran the lab-testing program at Data
Communications Magazine, which uncovered vulnerabilities in the then-novel RSA
two-factor authentication system. In the mid-1990s, Ms. Johnson ran the Global
Networking Strategies Service at the META Group, which included META’s security
and risk management offering. Subsequently, she served as the Chief Technology
Officer overseeing the security practice for Greenwich Technology Corp., a
global consulting and engineering firm that developed and implemented
leading-edge security architectures for financial services firms and other
global organizations.

ABSTRACT

Cybersecurity professionals in financial services firms can be forgiven for
thinking the universe is bad and getting worse. From nation-state attacks to
state and federal regulations, cybersecurity gets more complex each year. What
are leading-edge firms doing to strategize, prioritize, and cope with the
overload? Industry analyst (and former CTO) Johna Till Johnson explains.

10:55AM – 11:15AM

ABSTRACT

Security teams with limited resources and tools always report that it is
challenging to protect sensitive data and stay compliant. The technology
landscape is constantly expanding and becoming increasingly complex with the
shift to API first, cloud native application design, the adoption of data lakes,
and public cloud platforms with modern data stores.

11:15AM – 11:35AM

high-level best practices to C-suite executive briefings. He has been a
contributing author to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report and

ABSTRACT

Just as our federally elected leadership requires physical and digital
bodyguards, so do the executives of any financial services firm. Threat actors
attack individuals as easily as they attack organizations. In this session, you
will hear about examples of how threat actors personally target individuals –
often senior executives and board members. You’ll also learn some of the best
practices  that you and your organization can implement to reduce individual
digital footprints.

BECOMING A CYBER RESILIENT FINSERV ORGANIZATION AMID A RISKY CYBERSECURITY
LANDSCAPE

that depend on it.

ABSTRACT

The increase in digital threat surfaces between financial organizations and
their customers has led to an alarmingly increased rate of ransomware attacks.
Attacks against banks were up a staggering 1,318% from 2020 to 20211* and
according to FS-ISAC, ransomware will remain a large concern with increased
attacks predicted for the years to come.2

Evolving cyber threats like ransomware have garnered additional scrutiny from
regulators due to their potential impacts on the financial system. Heightened
requirements will provide regulators with increased awareness of the number and
severity of these growing attacks and help them plan for systemic impacts.
However, it may also increase the costs of cyber risk management for
organizations as they are forced to disclose incidents earlier than they would
have otherwise.

In this session you will learn how organizations can comply with new
requirements without significant increases in cyber risk management costs via a
zero trust data security approach.
